VIDEO REVIEW: TRANSFORMERS AGE OF EXTINCTION VOYAGER EVASION MODE OPTIMUS

Postby Autobot032 » Sun Apr 06, 2014 1:30 am

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
We've reported on the various versions of newly redesigned Optimus Prime, from First Editions to Leader Class, but the one everyone seemed to really take notice of was the Voyager Optimus with the shotgun that looked like Megatron's from DOTM and what seemed to be a flat nose alt mode. Turns out he's what everyone thought he was at Toy Fair and thanks to official images, we've seen more detail and the overall design, but we haven't seen the one aspect everyone has wanted to see, and that's the transformation. Well, that is, until now.

Thanks to YouTube reviewer Darryl Laughy we get a look at the actual Transformers: Age of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime figure!

You can see the figure, the transformation and hear Mr. Laughy's thoughts by checking out the video review embedded below.

Sweet! This is probably the only figure I'll get for this movie. Maybe Voyager Grimlock but G1ish Optimus is the once thing I'm looking forward to.

I had my reservations about this version of Prime but seeing this video makes this probably the only AOE figure I will buy. It's a great blending of the two Optimus figures.

Alt mode it great--worth buying just for the flat nose truck alone. I'm really disappointed with the skinny bot mode though. He needs more bulk and bigger shoulders!

Does anyone notice something about Prime's weapon, other than the fact that it looks like Megatron's? The piece of plastic behind the 5mm peg appears to be the actual handle! Are they trying to tease us with how G1 Prime's ion blaster had the 5mm peg and the actual handle behind it?

Weapon: Energon Crossbow
Well, this will probably be the only movie figure shown so far that I'll buy.

I don't mean that in an elitist, anti-movie way, I don't think all the other figures look bad, it's just that this one looks so good. Sure, he has fake chest windows, but the amount of detail in said fake windows is far higher that usual, what with them using clear plastic just like the real front window, and having similar proportions.

It's nice that Hasbro has gone and done something for the fans with this. However, this is not Generation One, it's the live action movie. I hope an accurate rusted version is released because the figure does look good.

Interesting toy, besides feels like was supposed to be a commander size, but they increased its size (simplified toy) due to no wheel rims and some other details that makes me feel that...

I wish it in rusty movie look and feel with flames and will be a must have, I will wait for Takara version. 8)

For real - a G1 head would make this mold a frontrunner for the Classics Prime slot in my collection.

I'm positive customizers can use this as a base for an IDW Prime as well. :D

Impressive! I love this toy! I wish Hasbro made one for Bumblebee and the rest, but one advantage Optimus has over the other Transformers is that you can´t go wrong with a truck as an alt mode, it´s always cool.

Alt mode is alright at best. Bot mode.....super chinsey. Forget it. AOE figures so far are a total disappointment for me right now. Just a bunch of stinkers.

Actually, those shoulder pieces should be blue, but you're right about the rest of the arms.
